Omni-Man dropped earlier this month, becoming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mortal Kombat 1's first guest character. Despite being a fairly popular addition to the game, his inclusion wasn't always set in stone, as director Ed Boon recently revealed that he first approached Invincible and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Walking Dead🌜 creator Robert Kirkman for permission to include Micho🉐nne as part of Kombat Pack 1.
Unfortunately, Boon doesn't go into why he went with Omni-Man instead of Michonne. Presumably, it may have had something to do with the recent release of Season 2 of Invincible, though that is just conjecture. What we do know is that the inclusion of Michonne would have been pretty well received, if the comments on Boon's info drop are anything to go by.
The replies are pretty much unanimous on how cool it would have been to see Michonne in Mortal Kombat 1, with some pushing back on Boon's decision to go with Omni-Man alongside Homelander, since the two are so similar in their abilities. Others think that this was a huge wasted opportunity to get a female character in the first Kombat Pack, which has been criticized for being male-dominated.
While I'm not the biggest Walking Dead fan, that would have been super sick. We could have finally had a female guest character and it would have been a woman of color on top of that.
In fact, even though the Mortal Kombat series has been adding characters from other media to its games for well over a decade, we still haven't had a female guest character at all (no, the Xenomorph from Alien doesn't count). That's quite surprising considering how there are a bunch of female characters like Michonne, Beatrix Kiddo, Sarah Connor, and DC characters like Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy that feel like a natural fit for the series.
Hopefully, the game's next Kombat Pack will finally include a female guest character, though none appear to be imminent additions from what we can gather from the many hints from Boon himself and leaks from dataminers. It was pretty much confirmed that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Noob Saibot will bꦡe an ♕upcoming addition, as well as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghostface from the Scream movies, but those are the only two almost nailed on addit🐠ions we have at the moment.
We still have Kombat Pack 1 to get through first though, which has the likes of Peacemaker, Homelander, Quan-Chi, Ermac, and Takahashi Takeda coming to Mortal Kombat 1 in the near future. No release dates as to when we'll see the next character addition, though yoiu'd expect some kind of news to show up at The Game Awards next month.
